yurp never had enough resources for "fuck off precision"
"fuck off precision" was useful when you were a man in the woods at the manifest destiny time in US and could eyeball everything, but yurp has always been much denser and no one could afford to waste resources on do-overs
which is why US suffers now, when precision is actually needed with shit like 3/8", gauges and other made up unconvertible football fields
